All students must complete two language courses regardless of the General Education Waiver, unless the student has transfer credit for said foreign language.

Students must show proficiency up to intermediate level.

If a student has taken a foreign language in high school, s/he must take the placement test to continue the same language.

If a student places into the intermediate level, s/he may take one semester to satisfy the requirement.
